The Toronto Maple Leafs will be taking on the Edmonton Oilers in a repeat of Wednesday’s game, hoping for a different result than the 3-1 final that the last rendition ended in. They’ll have to figure that out with a different cast of players, including their biggest star, as the team confirmed a series of injuries and lineup changes this morning. Here’s the gist of […]
Today was an exciting day. Our southern neighbours in the US celebrated a shift towards getting back on the right track on the national scale, Toronto was in it’s honeymoon night after the Blue Jays made one of the biggest signings in the team’s recent history in George Springer, and to cap it all off, we were going to get a McDavid vs. Matthews spectacular! […]
After a back-to-back weekend against a hard-and-grindy Ottawa Senators roster, one would hope for a little bit of R&R time. The shortened season doesn’t afford teams that sort of luxury, though – Toronto doesn’t get a two-day-off patch any time soon. Yesterday was their rest, and today was time for them to shift from more traditional rivals to new ones – the typically West-playing Winnipeg […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs’ goaltending depth looks a little bit lighter on Monday afternoon, as the New Jersey Devils claimed Aaron Dell off the waiver wire in a situation that Toronto had tried hard to avoid, but ultimately knew to be inevitable.

At the conclusion of a 2-1-0 opening week, the Toronto Maple Leafs have made their first sequence of roster transactions in the regular season, placing goaltender Aaron Dell and forward Jason Spezza on waivers this afternoon.

A familiar phrase will come out of everyone in Toronto tonight: “That’s better”. After a somewhat embarrassing loss to the Ottawa Senators on Friday night, in what one could call a “Trap Game”, a couple of noteworthy names led the Toronto Maple Leafs to a well-controlled, if still somewhat-tight 3-2 win against the very same Battle of Ontario opponents in their first Saturday Night matchup […]
One of the beautiful things about hockey is, due to the amount of players involved, the sway of goaltenders, and all other sorts of factors of luck and skill, you never know who is going to win. All the same, a projected 1-seed taking on a projected bottom-seed should be pretty slanted. At least, if you’ve never watched the Toronto Maple Leafs. While you wouldn’t […]
Whew. That was sloppy, that was chaotic, that was nail biting to the very end, that was… a Leafs season opener. For the third time in the last five years, the first game of the season went to overtime, and for the fourth year in a row, the blue and white ultimate came out ahead, beating the Montreal Canadiens 5-4 in a game where they […]
Folks, it’s your favourite time of year – where I make a bunch of outlandish predictions before opening night and we see where it goes a bit later. Where I get smug about the hits and pretend the misses never happened. You know how it is. For maximum effect, I’m going all in – short notice, right under the wire, relying mostly on memory and […]
